You are invited

Chatterbox: Pudding's Place

You are invited

You are invited to a Winter Ski Lodge Murder Mystery! 

Who: Everyone is invited to join. One of you is a murderer, but which one? 

What: This is a murder mystery. Every day, one person will die. Who is it? That's your job to figure out.

When: The game will begin on January 1 and end whenever it ends.

Where: The Ski Lodge. In other words, this page.

RSVP: I don't really care as long as you join sometime in December.

Various sundry rules and explanations:

-Each day I will write the story (probably in the morning or right after I get home if I have school). After that, you're welcome and encouraged to write your own view of the day.

-Big one: This isn't violent or gory.

-The motto: The funnier, the better.

-Basic geography does not apply. The Ski Lodge and Surrounding Territories more or less rewrites itself depending on how I want you guys to die.

-I don't decide who dies, so it's completely impartial. I pull everyone's names out of the Sugarbowl. The murderer comes out first (so I can keep track, really) and then I just draw a new name every day.

-Yes, the Sugarbowl is a Sugarbowl. I couldn't find a good hat the first time I wanted to do this and there is actually a skiing place in California called the Sugarbowl, so I thought, well, why not? It's more or less my Death Note.

-Pleeaaaassseee don't ask me to give you some long ridiculous name to put in the Sugarbowl. "Melody the Awesome Authority on all things Disney who is really Awesome" is so large, of course it's going to be pulled out right away.

-Like any good cartoon, logic and physics are overrated.

I hope you can join us.

-The Omnipotent Narrator

I just realised that my tenses went from past to present to past to present. Please don't mind my silly errors in these, guys.

It's kinda sad, but after the 31st I completely forgot about this. So, I just now read everything. It was highly amusing.

Ahh, this is so funny!!!!! I have a suspicion of who the murderer is, but I'm going to wait on saying who. I'm probably wrong anyway.

Opens music app very loudly and ceremoniously.

 

Hakuna Matata.  Want to get a few well-known ones out of the way before I move on to the *evil look* obscure.

Yes! The moose that bit your sister!

I read the vacation to Sweden, and I thought to myself, IS THIS WHAT I THINK IT IS?

It was.

I am fluent in Pidgin-English-Swedish.

The actual lines in the song are: 

Hurry up, don't dally
bring along your surfboard
broad waves are breaking
the ocean is swelling
let's lie out in the warm sun
while soft-sounding seas lap the dunes
c'mon, let's go for
Hawaiian roller coaster ride
And the opening lines are just greetings.

If the image of ~Blue Fairy~ as a warthog with a Edward Smith mustache doesn't make you laugh, I don't know what will. 

Day 7

It seems that Charlie went missing mysteriously this morning.

Grace: Hey, has anyone seen my roommate? She wasn't here when I woke up.

Ivy: Really? I haven't seen her... Should we send out a search party?

Bounty: A search party? It's like an adventure story! I want to go!

Watermelon: Mom said that if you break your leg or get attacked by a wild rabid rodent, it'll be all my fault, so I had better come along.

Red: I know the area better than you two, so I'll come along as well.

Watermelon: Then if anything happens to Bounty, it can be Red's fault! All right! I like this plan!

While searching...

Red: Gentlewomen! We do not stop till' nightfall. Or until we find Charlie. Either one.

Bounty: But what about breakfast?

Red: You've already had it. 

Bounty: We've had one, yes. But what about second breakfast?

Watermelon: I don't think he knows about second breakfast, Bounty.

Bounty: What about elevensies? Luncheon? Afternoon tea? Dinner? Supper? He knows about them, doesn't he? 

Watermelon: I wouldn't count on it.

Red: Hey, guys! Look what I found!

Bounty: Is that a... crop circle?

Watermelon: How can it be a crop circle if there aren't any crops?

Red: It's a message. "Greetings, two-legged semi-intelligent life forms! We have abducted your fellow two-legged life form known under the alias of 'Charlie', for the good of science. Hopefully, after our investigations, we will be able to have a better understanding of the Homo sapiens sapiens anatomy for our clone army. World domination will happen in no more than a year, if our calculations are correct. Please remain calm. Regards, the Alien Unicorns."

Back at the ranch- I mean, lodge...

S.E.: I'm getting kind of nervous with all these people dying. What if I die too?

SC: Don't worry. You have a 94.555% chance of surviving tomorrow.

Lizzy: Or you could have a positive attitude and just embrace the day. Carpe diem and all that.

Melody: Like Hakuna Matata! *grabs S.E. around the shoulders* What a wonderful phrase! Blu? Your cue?

Blue Fairy: Hakuna Matata! Ain't no passing craze!

Melody: It means no worries for the rest of your days.

Melody and Blue Fairy: It's our worry free philosophy! Hakuna Matata!

Skyler: Heeeey, the search party's back! What did you guys find?

Bounty: All kinds of things! Man, you won't believe the stuff you can find around here. We found the Holy Grail, that math homework I lost two weeks ago, an enormous pile of lost socks, Atlantis...

Ima: That's great and all, but did you find Charlie?

Watermelon: Oh, the Alien Unicorns took her.

Theo: You have proof of aliens? Where???

Watermelon: They left a message near the old oak in the deepest part of the woods past that bush that looks like Shirley Bassey.

Theo: Camera time! If I get the first documented proof of aliens, I can make millions! I'm off!

Tovah: There's a bush that looks like Shirley Bassey? The pop singer?

Watermelon: I was only kidding. I didn't expect him to believe me...

Grace: Now I have the room to myself! Whoo-hoo! Celebration!

Red: Hey, Blackberry. Guess who imitated Aragorn out there in the search party?

Blackberry: Red, on the scale of things I want to date, with 100 being Viggo Mortenson and 0 being my shoe, you're somewhere around -50.

Red: Well, you certainly have very attractive shoes.

BHR: Huh. Somebody should call Ghostbusters and tell them that you can punch someone so hard you knock their socks off.

Maggie: How did she knock off his socks but not his shoes?

Gilraen: Elf powers, Maggie. Don't disrespect the elf powers.

Meanwhile...

Theo: What the heck??? All I found was JLM stabbed in a bush shaped like an obese weiner dog, and all I have to show for it is a bunch of snow in my hair. Where are the aliens?

Rest in peace, Charlie. Rest in peace.

I started cracking up at the second breakfast part! 

And I have a suspicion that I am the murderer, but like I said, I'm probably wrong.

Ha. Elevensies.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAH Red and Blackberry. HA! 

Ivy is the murderer, right? 

 

They really do have Elevenses in England. At least they did when I was there!
